The Puppet-show Man

Languages : en
Pages : 8
Book Description
There was once a theatre director who lived on an ocean liner and he was very happy. He was a theatre director and he carried all his actors in a small suitcase: they were puppets. He had always had a very joyful nature, but if he was especially happy today, it was thanks to an encounter with a young engineer... Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875) was a Danish author, poet and artist. Celebrated for children’s literature, his most cherished fairy tales include "The Emperor's New Clothes", "The Little Mermaid", "The Nightingale", "The Steadfast Tin Soldier", "The Snow Queen", "The Ugly Duckling" and "The Little Match Girl". His books have been translated into every living language, and today there is no child or adult that has not met Andersen's whimsical characters. His fairy tales have been adapted to stage and screen countless times, most notably by Disney with the animated films "The Little Mermaid" in 1989 and "Frozen", which is loosely based on "The Snow Queen", in 2013. Thanks to Andersen's contribution to children's literature, his birth date, April 2, is celebrated as International Children's Book Day.

Languages : en
Pages : 276
Book Description
Two dead men. Two mysterious lists. And a Scottish wine expert with a nose for trouble. A week before the fabulous Flight of Fancy Charity Auction in Sonoma, California, someone kills a counterfeiter concocting fakes of very expensive wine. Wine expert Sarah McKee is called in to help identify the victim—if she can. Whoever killed him took his wallet, car, and computer—as well as his face. What they didn’t take was a list in the dead man’s pocket—a mystifying series of numbers, circles and checkmarks. Then a second man is killed, and the same list is found. Prints on the murder weapon point to Sarah’s friend, Zach Sullivan, who is struggling to put his world back together after his father gambled away the family winery. Zach is the only one with a motive for killing both men. Determined to clear Zach’s name, Sarah teams up with a sexy, by-the-book sheriff to investigate the murders. But as they get closer to the truth, Sarah discovers the counterfeit ring will stop at nothing to protect their lucrative operation. Can Sarah figure out what the lists mean, catch the real killer at the auction, and save her friend?

The Steadfast Tin Soldier
Author: Hans Christian Andersen
Publisher: ABRAMS
ISBN: 1613124988
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 44
Book Description
A beautifully illustrated version of the classic fairy tale about a tin soldier’s adventure and his love for a ballerina, retold with a twist. With her signature warmth and lyricism, Newbery winner Cynthia Rylant has crafted a new version of the classic Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale about a tin soldier who falls in love with a ballerina. As in the original story, the tin soldier’s love for the beautiful ballerina is thwarted by a goblin. The tin soldier is separated from the other toys and washed down a sewer, where he encounters a rat and gets swallowed by a fish, but somehow, against all odds, he manages to end up back home only to be cast into the nursery fire. Rylant adds her own twist to the end of the tale, however, for in this version, the tin soldier and the ballerina are melded to each other, rather than melted, in the heat of the fire, so they’ll never be parted again. Rylant’s expert storytelling paired with Corace’s stunning illustrations create a beautiful, unforgettable tale of everlasting love. Praise for The Steadfast Tin Soldier “Gracefully written. . . . The book’s large format gives plenty of scope for Corace’s distinctive illustrations, precise ink drawings brightened with watercolor, gouache, and acrylic paints. Sometimes brilliantly colorful and sometimes more subdued, the scenes can be crowded with dozens of toys or other visual elements, but they show up well from a distance. The subtle depictions of the goblin and his shadow are particularly fine. A softened vision of the literary fairy tale.” —Booklist “Text and illustrations weave seamlessly to create an involving, fast-paced update of a much-loved tale. Rylant's retelling is abridged, yet sprightly, and Corace’s watercolor, gouache, acrylic, and pen-and-ink illustrations add nuance and whimsy to Andersen's original.” —School Library Journal
